Larger than Lxpected, anJ Will Come Daiij-Seamcn Kcscued. Mr. Vanderbilt Granted a Divorce. A dciTcc of absolute divorce was granttl Tuesday by Justice Harrett of the New York Supreme Court to Alva K. Yanderl.ilt from William K. Vanderbilt. The testimony ami tin- report of lieferet Kelly UK- scaled. The mtiiie of the- co-respondent is unknown. Hy the terms of the decree the t ustody if the three children. Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt. William K. Vanderbilt. Jr.. and Harold S. Vaiider bilt. is given to Mrs. Vanderbilt. A liberal allow am o is granted Mrs. Vanderbilt. The complaint in the action was served upon Mr. Vanderbilt .Ian. .' last, ami thortly afterward an answer was tiled in LcLalf of Mr. Vanderbilt. lie raised the issue as to the allegations of the divorce by denying in his answer the charges made in the complaint, and upon that issue the ease was sent to Mr. Kelly as referee. The referee's report finds that the allegations of Mrs. Vanderbilt set forth in the complaint are true, and that Mr. Vanderbilt has been guilty of the acts chared against him. Neither the com plaint, nor the answer, r.or the report of the referee, nor the lestiniony is open for inspection. The only paper that can le s en is the derive of the court. This, in addition to setting forth the facts a: tht.vc statt d. finds that Mr. Vanderbilt is n man of considerable means and well Jible to provide for Iiis wife and children, and that the wife is entitled to a suitable provision for the support of herself and the maintenance and education of the children. The woman in the case was the notorious Nellie Neutivtter, a wcllki.own woman of Paris, of Dutch birth. Patents Do Not Hold. The case of the Hae Uefrigerator Company against Fran. -is- Sulzberger Sc Co... upon which the question of American patents expire when foreign patents have 1 ecu previously issued, was decided ct Washington in an exhaustive opinion by Justice Harlan of the I". S. Supreme Court. It is estimated that not less than $Ci,(MUh of capital hinges on the decision, which determines the status of many valuable patents. The court held that the invention for which Hate received a patent was previously patented in a foreign country and that the Cnited States patent expired with the foreign patent. The decision is against the electric and other patents involved in the decision of this mit. There was no dissension. The case involves the construction of section 4S7 of the Kevised Statutes, which provides, that "every patent granted for an invention which has been previously patented in n foreign country shall be so limited as to expire at the same time as the foreign patent, or if there be more than one, at the same time with the one having the shortest term, and in no case shall it be in force more than seventeen years." Income Tax Figures. According to a Washington dispatch, the number of persons and corporations liable to taxation under the provisions of the income tax law was originally estimated at N3.0OO. It is now believed that returns will show that over 23tU K.N I individuals, estates and corjMration are in receipt of annual net incomes in excess of $4.MM. Hlanks to the number of ::m,inm) were sent out to revenue collectors, but that supply proving entirely inadequate, nnother ütHi.OtH) lot was printed, and now tLcsc are more than half gone. I'poii information offered by revenue collectors the Commissioner of Internal Ucvonuu bases nti opinion that very little trouble is going to be experienced in collecting the tax. Ten Thousand on Strike. Ten thousand railroad miners in the Pittsburg district struck for an advance of 14 cents per ton. or GO cents, the Columbus agreement. A secret circular was vent out ordering the strike. BREVITIES. The Fifty-lirst Congress made total appropriations of $!HI,L"J.VJSy.

Two marked men were foiled in an attempt at train robbery near Antelope Station, Cal.. by the assistance of the engineer and tireman. The students of the State Normal School it Vpsilanti, Mich., are in rebellion against the principal, Prof. Hoone, for alleged unfair treatment of two of their number. The Hosten Central Lalior Union condemns efforts to have the mails carried on street cars, claiming that the companies would use the service as a cloak to rua cars in the event of a strike. Two children of Wyntt. May berry, colrred, were burned to death at Henham. Texas, while their father was away to church. A third child escaped by climbing out of a window.

Two buildings, one in tourse of construction and one in course of demolition, collapsed in New York Friday, killing five men and fatally injuring or maiming nineteen others. The first accident occurred about !:!'.( o'clock in the morning. At the corner of 4'd street and loth avenue a house was being torn down by about forty laborers and fell with a crash, carrying several workmen to the basement, three Moor below. They wen completely covered by tons of brick, dry mortar and iron beams. In t his four were killed and seven hurt. The second accident occurred about o'clock in the afternoon. The central wall to the four double tenement houses being erected at 131 to 137 Orchard sheet crumbled and fell. With the wall went portions of four floors, leaving a great rent fifty feet long and thirty feet wide in the center of the buildings. It was like a pit, at the bottom of which was a mass of tangled iron and broken wood that covered many men. From that heap in an hour had been taken out one man dead and twelve injured. In both cases the contractors were arrested. WESTERN.

At the annual Iowa oratorical contest at Mount Pleasant, Miss Ethel Rrown, of Oskaloosa College, secured tirst place; ). M. Cloud, of Lennox College, second, nnd (leorge C. Clammer, of Simpson College, third. The Nebraska Legislature has decided to revive the beet sugar bounty by paying the producer 3 per ton for all bcts produced. The last Legislature suspended this law. The House had a great light over the affair. Deputy marshals and alleged train robbers had a hot tight at Rrush Hill, Ind. T., in which James Nakedhead, a Cherokee ollicer, was killed. One of the robbers was captured and the other escaped, although wounded. Property valued nt upward of $20t t,t00 was destroyed by Saturday's lire at Salina. Kan. A million dollars' damage was caused by the lire which originated in Simpson's dry goods store in Toronto. Fire partly destroyed the Hotel Boycr at Pittsburg. Twenty of the employes had a narrow escape from cremation. Nearly two score men were killed Wednesday morning by the explosion of gas in the White Ash mine of the Santa Fe Railroad Company, three miles from Cerrillos, N. M. Nearly .".OO men are employed in the mine, but fortunately, only seventy or eighty wen at work when the explosion occurred. Only ett veil of these escaped alive, ami some of them may yet die. Twenty-eight dead had Iteen taken from the mine Wednesday night, and it is doubtful if the thirty-five or forty remaining can be rescued alive, as they an? eiitonbcd deep down in the shaft. The ministers of Port Huron, Mich., succeeded in hiding the startling show bil of (i "IHack Crook" company which op-.ned there the other evening, but nt thr same time gave the show a big advertisement. When the bills were lasted! .Monday the ministers appealed to the chief of police to have them removed, but he was powerless. Then they visited Manager I T. Heimelt of the theater, and he consented to have nil the tight-clad lig-

ures adorned. The garments wire made of tissue paper of ail sizes and colors, j

They were deftly piui.cd on every show bill in the city. Instead of the gay dansucse with pink lights one .-aw the demure girl, of go;;d church society, with aeck yokes, puffed sh- vos, and ilowiu:: skirts. The window h:ui;r r were ad u n j ed in the sane maimer. Long te;s gown-i r j Mother Hc.hhards and 1 o-e a ra ;;! ; concealed the pictures of the pink lmi! - j tjuers. As a result of the unique adver- j tis-einents the show had a packed house. At the bottom of the third column of the ! last p.igo of Sunday's Chicago Times w ere I the words "The end." They gave the lea- j son why the presses w t re silent in the j Times building Monday morning for tie- ! tirst time in over forty years, exeepting j when the ashes left by the great lire of , 171 covered tht in. A valedictory on the editorial page signed by Adolf Kraus ami : an editorial announcement in the Herald j added, signifieam-e to the two little words i which constituted the farewell message of the linn who gathered the news, set ; the type, cast the plates and handled the great presses in the making of the news- I paper. The end came when the la-t paper i had come from the pi ess and the throttle i on the engine had been closed. Long j before that, however, the reporters, writ- ; crs :-r.d managers upstairs had gone, l-av- j ing tht; presses to issue their own valedietory. The Times has been absorbed by the Herald, and only its name and history are left to tell of the great paper j which Wilbur F. Storey made. Public indignation at Chicago found a voice in two nio.iter mass meetings Sunday afternoon, called by the Civic Federation. (ne meeting only had been called, but so widespread was the indignation that Ctntral Music Hail was large enough for less than half the citizens. The Second Regiment armory was rented, and there the utterances of protest went up lji:itli- linn nt tti. iviri-nt uuot. ng. 1 lie cry that went up was one lor j reform and for independence in local poli- i tics. No other sentiment was thought of or given a hearing at either of the meeting's. Every time any of the speakers made an appeal along these lines he was sure of hearty applause. The stronger his denunciation tin better he pleased his hearers. People seemed to lorget an ideas td Sunday behavior. They arose in their seats when they welt particularly well pleased, and yelled to the speaker: "Hit "em again." It was not a meeting fruitless in its action. While a set of resolutions was adopted men were appointed to see that its provisions were carried out. Fire, attended by many of the scenes of the great conflagration of 1S71, caused the ttdal destruction Wednesday of the Charles Kai-stncr & Co. building, Ü43 Jefferson street, and a section of the Crane Manufacturing Company's big plant adjoining on the north; scorched many neighboring structures and placed the lives of scores of panic-stricken girls and children in jeopardy. Two hundred and seventy-live girls employed in the Lancaster Caramel Company, a block away from the lire, were, maddened by fright and rushed down a narrow stairway. In their flight several fell and were trampled on and severely injured by the others. The greediest, angriest and most whipping liames that have ba tiled the tire department for years consumed over a half million dollars worth of property in the short time of sixty minutes, scorched a dozen or more firemen anU supplied a southwest gale with clouds of cinders and brands that were carried into the heart of the business district of the city for over a mile from the scene of the lire. Rut angry as the lire was. Chief Swenie and his assistants checked its progress when it appeared to be a certainty that a major ptrtiou of the West Side manufacturing district was in imminent danger. At 4:t3 o'clock Friday afternoon the Panics murder case was given to the jury at Chicago, and exactly four hours later the twelve men re-entered the court room and announced the following verdict: "Edmund Jordan was found guilty of the murder of Alf ret 1 I). Panics and his punishment fixed at imprisonment for life." Annie Mahoney was found guilty tif murder as an accessory after the fact, which inqtoscs uion the court the duty of declaring what her punishment shall be. In connection with such a verdict the law gives no right to a jury to atlix a penalty. Judge Freeman will declare what her punishment shall be. John Pisst ll Jersey, also indicted as an accessory after the fact, was acquitted. .Jordan killed Raines with an ax in the furnace room of the Hiawatha Hats the evening of Dee. 3. With the help of Jersey he stripped the body of clothes and t riet! to cut it in pieces with the ax, so as to burn it in the furnace. Failing in that, with the help of Annie Mahoney, they put the body in ihe box. procured a wagon and drove with the ghastly load to the place where the box and body were found. Inspector Hunt and the ollicers of the Hyde Park police station succeeded in jr tt ins confessions from the three. SOUTHERN. Ex-Priest Slattery and his wife again lectured at Savannah under police protection. No disturbance was attcmpttd. A Houston and Texas Central train was held up by train robbers live miles north of Dallas. Nothing of value was obtained. While guiding a party of sportsmen in Arkansas n short time ago Pud Cummings found in a cartridge thrown aside by Ren Westhus, a St. Iouis carpet merchant, a pair of valuable diamond earrings. The boy now refuses to give them up wkhout a reward. Miss Laura Morgan, one of the principals of the tiirls High School at Atlanta, (Ja., who forfeited her position by marrying her sick lover in order to be able to nurse him. was reinstated by the Poanl of Education and given one month leave of absence on full pay for her honeymoon. As a party, the worse for liquor, was returning from a dance at one of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company' mines at Pratt City, Ala., going up the company's tracks a company train came along. All the revelers left the track except Lizzie Pin ford and Rena Jones, who remained in bravado to frighten their beaux. The train ground them to pieces. A relief train from the scene of the accident on th; Inter-Oceanie Railroad took to the City of Mexico the news that 10 1 dead bodies nnd eighty-live wounded persons were taken out of the ruins of the sxcursion train. The relief train nrritvl Friday morning with sixty-live perso who had been injured in the crash, nr-i Dr. Alfred Pray, Dr. Francis (Jrossoa ami two other surgeons who were sent out stKjii after the news of the disaster was received. Many persona were

loft thad near the sjiot where the train left the rails. Others were at the point t f death, and of those who were brought back ten or twelve cannot recover. S. O. Moran, a grandson of Foreign Minister Mariscul. died from his injuries. WASHINGTON. The sundry civil bill, including the item of ?".' m m m m i for paying sugar bourties, passed the S nate. The President has accepted the rrignatioii of Postmaster Oeiieral Pi-r-ell. Representative William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, will be his successor. Postmasier Ueneral Pissell retires from office on the best terms with the President and with the confidence and esteem td" all the cabinet. Mr. Piss'H is unwilling to sa. ririce more time and money for the honor of holding a seat iu the cabinet. He is not by any means a wealthy man. and hi- expenditures in Washington have amounted io ai hast three times his salary as a cabinet ollicer. more than swallowing up his salary and his private income together. It may be stated without hedge or equivocation that the administration" is seriously contemplating a resort to retaliation as the best, quickest ami only sure way of bringing tiermany and France to terms, and forcing them to rescind the offensive discriminations against American cattle and American meat products. The President and Secretary of Slate are collecting a mass of statistical information bearing on our commerce with these nations, with the specific end in view of rinding the weakest point at which to begin an attack. It is unfortunate for the purposes of the campaign of retaliation that the Fnitcd States sells both France and (lermany more property than it buys of them, but it is urged that neither of them purchases our grain ami our cotton and other necessaries of existence because it loves us. but because it needs these things and cannot get tin ni elsewhere as cheap as in America. The logic of this argument is that an interruption of trade relations with France and (lermany will in reality be less hazardous to our interests than would appear on the surface. Our (Joverniuent is receiving help In this matti-r from an unexpected quarter from the great ocean transportation lines owned in (iermany ami Frame. Feeling that their immense interests are becoming endangered, they are beginning to move energetically to repress the growing tendency abroad to jump on American products, then by inviting retaliation. IN GENERAL It is denied that Mrs. Cleveland has joined the V. C. T. F. The French embargo applies only to live cattle and will not prevent the importation of American dressed beef. Leading commercial men of St. Johns. N. F., ha-.f protested against the appointment of Mr. Ryan, of Wisconsin, as Fnited Slates consul in place td' Mr. Malloy, who has been in that position for twentylive years. The preliminary trial of the Ilyams brothers for the murder of William C. Wells to ohlain insurance money has been begun at Toronto. Magistrate Denison refused to permit Francis Wellnian, the New York criminal lawyer, to appear for the defense. The National Council of Women has elected the following officers: President, Mary Lowe Dickinson, New York; vicepresident at large. Rev. Anna Shaw. Philadelphia; corresponding secretary, Louise Parnum Robhius, Michigan; first recording secretary. Emiline Rurlingame Cheney, Maine; second recording secretary, Mrs. Helen Finley Pristol, Quincy, 111.; treasurer. Hannah J. Pailey, Maine. The Cincinnati Price Current summarizes the crop situation for the past week as follows: "A trying period for the wheat crop is now inaugurated. Enlarging areas report more apprehension of injury from freezing and thawing in Kansas and Missouri ami somewhat in Illinois and Indiana. The average condition has evidently been lowered. There is almost uniform reference to low wheat supplies, and that they ate held for better prices. The week's packing of bog amounted to .".Tn.'MiO. against HOO.OUO for the corresponding week last year. The indicated total for four mouths is 7,1N).tNH), against 4.?sS3f(Kji) during a like period in lS'.M." R. I. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: No gold gone out, though sterling exchange lias risen close to the exporting point, and it does not yet appear that the syndicate has made any effort to control the exchange market. London has sold about 4M(K shares of stock, and the market is distinctly lower for railroad shares, though a shade stronger for trusts. The stock market waits abjectly for London, and foreigners show thus far more disposition to sell than to buy. Withdrawals of gold by redemption of legal tenders have not ceased, but since the closing of the syndicate contracts have averaged about SR!UHM a day. MARKET REPORTS.

After sharp debate in the Senate Wednesday, tie financial issue which had blocked the progress of the appropriation bills was swept away by the withdrawal of both Mr. (lorman's amendment a.;d Mr. Mills propositi, in to repeal the laws nuihorizing the issue of bonds. The day was wasted in the House, so far as tin purposes for which the day was set aside were concerned, namely, to consider bills reported from the Committee on Public' Huildings ,tnd C, rounds.

A IMi.vsician LMiioates HX Ca si There and in Drooklv n. A physician iu a New York hospital estimated that there are nearly 1 case of genuine leprosy in New York and I'rooklyn at the present time. A noticeable case is that of a young woman who was seen in Park Row the tit her day 1 1lKiwing her way ihrough a dene throua of people. She was indeed a repulsive object. Her tars wt re almost as lar-e as one's hand, thick, pnrpio, and hanging down an inch; her lips were thick and seemingly hard: her hands were stiff, covered with scales, ihe lingers l.eing drawn and puffed up. and her imse was abnormally developed, the nostrils prohably heilig closed. As she pasil along at Ä rapid gait her big, white, scaly hand lay caressingly on the shoulder ol a lit y. :irold girl whom she was pushing along through the crowd. For thirty years certainly, and i;i telling how much longer, leprosy has been present in New York. Hy reference 1. the charts of physicians who make skin more than one person who lived there a'l localities which produce Icprow snl.jeci.s are designated by a red tracing. This red tracing envelops the metropolis, :in, the records of physicianv will shew tha more than one person who lived lo re all his life has been stricken with the dread disease. It is very difficult to vet ihe ac tual facts in such cases, becae.se the afllicied persons ;l rt. , n sensitive, and the physicians who attend them as much as possible protect tl.ein from eposire.
